Arm protection plate from the dolmen

The Gangdolmen ( French dolmen à couloir ) is typical of the Bas-Rhône-type dolmens in the Gard. The Cairn , which completely covered the chamber once is removed to a large extent. But its dimensions are still recognizable. The ceiling plate, broken in two parts, of the small, almost square chamber lies on the hill.
